    Function
</H2>
Calculate the composition of unique words in sequences
<H2>
    Description
</H2>

<p><b>compseq</b> calculates the composition of words of a specified
length (dimer, trimer etc) in the input sequence(s).  The word length
is user-specified.  The unique sequences (words), their observed
count, observed frequency, expected frequency and (observed /
expected) frequency are written to the output file.  The (observed /
expected) frequency highlights any words with unusually high (or low)
occurence in the input sequences.</p>


<H2>
    Algorithm
</H2>
<p>By default, <b>compseq</b> makes the (false) assumption that each
word is equally likely. The expected frequency therefore of any dimer
is 1/16 - this is simply the inverse of the number of possible dimers
(<tt>AA</tt>, <tt>AC</tt>, <tt>AG</tt>, <tt>AT</tt>, <tt>CA</tt>,
<tt>CC</tt>, <tt>CG</tt>, <tt>CT</tt>, <tt>GA</tt>, <tt>GC</tt>,
<tt>GG</tt>, <tt>GT</tt>, <tt>TA</tt>, <tt>TC</tt>, <tt>TG</tt>, <tt>TT</tt>).
Similarly, the expected frequency of any trimer is 1/64, etc. Clearly
this is not the case in real sequences where there will be bias in
favour of some monomers and words.  There are ways around this (see
"Notes").</p>

<p>The normal behaviour of <b>compseq</b> is to count the frequencies
of all words that occur by moving a window of length 'word' up by one
each time.  The '-frame' option allows you to move the window up by
the length of the word each time, skipping over the intervening words.
You can count only those words that occur in a single frame of the
word by setting this value to a number other than zero.  If you set it
to 1 it will only count the words in frame 1, 2 will only count the
words in frame 2 and so on.</p>


<H2>
    Usage
</H2>
Here is a sample session with <b>compseq</b>
<p>
To count the frequencies of dinucleotides in a file: 
<p>

<p>
<table width="90%"><tr><td bgcolor="#CCFFFF"><pre>

% <b>compseq tembl:x65923 -word 2 result3.comp </b>
Calculate the composition of unique words in sequences

<a href="#input.1">Go to the input files for this example</a><br><a href="#output.1">Go to the output files for this example</a><p><p>
<p>
<b>Example 2</b>
<p>
To count the frequencies of hexanucleotides, without outputting the results of hexanucleotides that do not occur in the sequence: 
<p>

<p>
<table width="90%"><tr><td bgcolor="#CCFFFF"><pre>

% <b>compseq tembl:x65923 -word 6 result6.comp -nozero </b>
Calculate the composition of unique words in sequences

</pre></td></tr></table><p>
<p>
<a href="#output.2">Go to the output files for this example</a><p><p>
<p>
<b>Example 3</b>
<p>
To count the frequencies of trinucleotides in frame 2 of a sequence and use a previously prepared compseq output to show the expected frequencies: 
<p>

<p>
<table width="90%"><tr><td bgcolor="#CCFFFF"><pre>

% <b>compseq tembl:x65923 -word 3 result3.comp -frame 2 -in prev.comp </b>

Calculate the composition of unique words in sequences
Version: EMBOSS:6.6.0.0

   Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
  [-sequence]          seqall     Sequence(s) filename and optional format, or
                                  reference (input USA)
   -word               integer    [2] This is the size of word (n-mer) to
                                  count.
                                  Thus if you want to count codon frequencies
                                  for a nucleotide sequence, you should enter
                                  3 here. (Integer 1 or more)
  [-outfile]           outfile    [*.compseq] This is the results file.

   Additional (Optional) qualifiers (* if not always prompted):
   -infile             infile     This is a file previously produced by
                                  'compseq' that can be used to set the
                                  expected frequencies of words in this
                                  analysis.
                                  The word size in the current run must be the
                                  same as the one in this results file.
                                  Obviously, you should use a file produced
                                  from protein sequences if you are counting
                                  protein sequence word frequencies, and you
                                  must use one made from nucleotide
                                  frequencies if you are analysing a
                                  nucleotide sequence.
   -frame              integer    [0] The normal behaviour of 'compseq' is to
                                  count the frequencies of all words that
                                  occur by moving a window of length 'word' up
                                  by one each time.
                                  This option allows you to move the window up
                                  by the length of the word each time,
                                  skipping over the intervening words.
                                  You can count only those words that occur in
                                  a single frame of the word by setting this
                                  value to a number other than zero.
                                  If you set it to 1 it will only count the
                                  words in frame 1, 2 will only count the
                                  words in frame 2 and so on. (Integer 0 or
                                  more)
*  -[no]ignorebz       boolean    [Y] The amino acid code B represents
                                  Asparagine or Aspartic acid and the code Z
                                  represents Glutamine or Glutamic acid.
                                  These are not commonly used codes and you
                                  may wish not to count words containing them,
                                  just noting them in the count of 'Other'
                                  words.
*  -reverse            boolean    [N] Set this to be true if you also wish to
                                  also count words in the reverse complement
                                  of a nucleic sequence.
   -calcfreq           boolean    [N] If this is set true then the expected
                                  frequencies of words are calculated from the
                                  observed frequency of single bases or
                                  residues in the sequences.
                                  If you are reporting a word size of 1
                                  (single bases or residues) then there is no
                                  point in using this option because the
                                  calculated expected frequency will be equal
                                  to the observed frequency.
                                  Calculating the expected frequencies like
                                  this will give an approximation of the
                                  expected frequencies that you might get by
                                  using an input file of frequencies produced
                                  by a previous run of this program. If an
                                  input file of expected word frequencies has
                                  been specified then the values from that
                                  file will be used instead of this
                                  calculation of expected frequency from the
                                  sequence, even if 'calcfreq' is set to be
                                  true.
   -[no]zerocount      boolean    [Y] You can make the output results file
                                  much smaller if you do not display the words
                                  with a zero count.

    Input file format
</H2>

<b>compseq</b> reads a normal sequence(s) USA.

<p>
An optional second input file is the output from a previous compseq
run used to set the expected word frequencies.

<p>
The optional second input data file format is exactly the same as the output
file format. 
<p>
It expects to read in a previous output file of this program.
An error is produced if the word size of the current compseq job
and that of the output file being read in are different.

    Output file format
</H2>

The output format consists of:
<p>
Header information and comments are preceeded by a '#' character
at the start of the line.
<p>
The Word size and the Total count are then given on separate lines,
<p>
The headers of the columns of results are preceeded by a '#'
<p>
The results columns are: the sub-sequence word, the observed
frequency, the expected frequency (which will be read from the input
file if one is given, else it is a simple inverse of the number of words
of the size specified that can be constructed), the ratio of the
observed to expected frequency.
<p>
After a blank line at the end, the results of 'Other' words is
given - this is the number of words with a sequence which has
IUPAC ambiguity codes or other unusual characters in.

<H2>
    Notes
</H2>
<p>
The maximum word size is limited to 4 for proteins, and 6 for
nucleotide sequences.</p>

<p>
Large word sizes are not appropriate for the <b>compseq</b>
algorithm. All possible words will be stored and reported. The
algorithm is designed to generate useful information for word sizes
expected to occur at least once in the input sequence.</p>

<p>The results are held in an array in memory before being written to
a file. For large values of wordsize (over about 7 for nucleic, 5 for
protein), you may run out of memory or generate a very large output
file.</p>

<p>There is no way for <b>compseq</b> to guess what the true expected
frequency should be for each word. It can however read in the result
of a previous <b>compseq</b> analysis and use this to set the expected
frequencies of the subsequences.  In this case, the input sequences
under investigation should be representative of those used for the
previous <b>compseq</b> analysis.  It is down to your biological
expertise to ensure the sequences are genuinely "representative", for
instance, you might select a group of sequences belonging to the same
taxonomic rank such as genus or species.</p>

<p>The file of expected frequencies is specified by name with
the <tt>-infile</tt> qualifier. The word size in the current run must
be the same as the one in this results file.  Obviously, you should
use a file produced from protein sequences if you are counting protein
sequence word frequencies, and you must use one made from nucleotide
frequencies if you are analysing a nucleotide sequence.</p>

<p>As an alternative to using <tt>-infile</tt>, the expected
frequencies of words may be calculated from the observed frequency of
single bases or residues in the sequences.  To do this, specify
the <tt>-calcfreq</tt> qualifier.  If you are reporting a word size of
1 (single bases or residues) then there is no point in using this
option because the calculated expected frequency will be equal to the
observed frequency.</p>

<p>Calculating the expected frequencies like this will give an
approximation of the expected frequencies that you might get by using
an input file of frequencies produced by a previous run of this
program. If an input file of expected word frequencies has been
specified then the values from that file will be used instead of this
calculation of expected frequency from the sequence, even if
'calcfreq' is set to be true.</p>

    Known bugs
</H2>


This program can use a large amount of memory is you were allowed to
specify a large word size (7 or above).  This may impact the behaviour
of other programs on your machine.

<p>
If you run out of memory, you may see the program crash with a generic
error message that will be specific to your machine's operating system,
but will probably be a warning about writing to memory that the program
does not own (eg "Segmentation fault" on a Solaris machine)

<p>
This is not a bug, it is a feature of the way this program grabs large
amounts of memory. The maximum word size is restricted to avoid this problem.

    History
</H2>


Completed 2 March 2000

<BR>

5 April 2001 (version 1.12.0) - the operation of the option '-reverse'
has changed.  It is now 'False' by default instead of being 'True' by
default for nucleic sequences.  Too many people were getting confused by
the counts being done on both senses, so this is now done on only the
forward sense by default.
